Will My Natural Deodorant Make Me Sweat More? Let's Sweat It Out (Naturally)!
Hey everyone, switching to natural deodorant can be a journey, and I get it! One of the biggest questions I hear is, "Will I sweat more?" Let's chat about that and how my natural deodorants at Naturally at the Wrens Nest can help!
Traditional deodorants (often called antiperspirants) often contain aluminum. This aluminum acts like a tiny plug, blocking your sweat glands and keeping you dry. While that might sound great on a hot day, sweating is actually a natural and healthy function! Our bodies sweat to cool us down and release toxins. Blocking that process completely can be disruptive and have downsides
Compromised Cooling: Reduced sweat production can make it harder for your body to regulate its temperature, especially during exercise or in hot weather. This can lead to overheating, discomfort, and even heatstroke in extreme cases.
Increased Strain on Other Detoxification Organs: If sweat plays a role in eliminating toxins, even a minor one, blocking it entirely may place additional burden on other detoxification organs like the liver and kidneys.
My Naturally Fresh….Deodorant is a cream based formula
Natural deodorants, like the ones I lovingly craft here at Naturally at the Wrens Nest (Naturally Fresh Deodorant and Fresh Natural Stick Deodorant , take a different approach. Instead of blocking sweat, they focus on neutralizing the odor-causing bacteria that breaks down sweat. This means you might experience a slight adjustment period at first, as your body gets used to this new way of functioning.
My Fresh….Natural Stick Deodorant has added organic cocoa butter and candelilla wax to make it a firmer formula - great for taking on holidays - it won’t melt.
But here's the good news: Your body is incredibly adaptable! Give it a few days, a week or two at most, to transition to natural deodorant, and you might find you actually sweat less overall. This is because your body can regulate its temperature more effectively when sweat isn't constantly being blocked. Plus, my natural deodorants come in a variety of amazing scents like calming lavender & lime, invigorating lemon & patchouli, or uplifting orange & grapefruit, keeping you smelling fresh and confident all day long.
Think of it like this: Natural deodorants, like the ones I make here at Naturally at the Wrens Nest, allow your body to function naturally, while still keeping you feeling confident and smelling fantastic. It's a win-win for your health and your sense of well-being!
